Everything in court is done by agreement or contract, even if the agreement/contract is made by estoppel - https://www.youarelaw.org/Download/CorpusJurisSecundum-AttorneyClient.pdf and https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/estoppel. According to Rules of Court, there are some things that judges, attorneys, prosecutors and defendants, claimants and claimees, are not allowed to contract or agree away. Mostly, these have to do with rights of a man/woman. But who checks into the law to find out which of these rights have been contracted away, either on purpose (mostly by judges), or without the knowledge that it was done? | We need to learn the Rules of Court so that we understand when a judge is moving past his authority, and then call him out regarding it. Start by making sure you are in a Court of Record. Then, call him out by having a confederate sue him. With a properly done suit against a judge, the whole court case might be thrown out.
